I would like to express my objection to the proposed rule change regarding the Form 8-K
disclosure of certain management transactions. We are a small bank with only 148 employees,
and five million shares outstanding. This new rule would place an undue burden on a company
as small as ours.
I urge you not to adopt this rule.
Roger A. Mandery
